Thanks, but it's already been posted. We don't sleep here!

To change the subject, I wonder if you have given any thought to the Egyptian 737 which came down in the Red Sea due to mysterious technical failure. Strikes me the circumstances of this crash are very similar to the one involving the late Mr Wellstone, namely the plane just fell out of the sky without the pilot saying a word.

>>>Egypt's civil aviation minister said that the causes of the crash were "entirely technical" and there was no sign of terrorism. The Egyptian pilot did not send a distress call. French aviation experts said that this might mean the aircraft was disabled by a small explosion on board but it could equally mean the pilot was struggling with the controls and had no time to send a signal. <<<
